LEE REMICK TAMES JAMES COBURN, 13 May 2003
8/10
Author: whpratt1 from United States

James Coburn(John Cunninghman) gets very distracted when Lee Remick (Sheila Metcalfe) enters his room as a hooker and gives him plenty of action. He almost forgets about doing his final hit to retire on. This film is filled with great actors, Burgess Meredith( Ramsey Williams) who also played in Rocky 1 and Rocky 2. Karen Black (Ellen) and Sterling Hayden give excellelnt supporting roles along with Lilli Palmer(Adrianne), Lee Remick's close friend. This film cannot be ignored, it has too many veteran actors to make it an all time classic film of the late 60's.
